Okay, Fediverse, help a nerd out.

Ditching #Bitwarden. Genuine thanks to that crew, but y'all take care, I'm out.

Consensus seems to be @keepassxc #KeePassXC and sync over @syncthing #Syncthing (the latter already a core workflow for all my devices).

What is the consensus on the mobile app? Must be #freesoftware #libresoftware for Android #GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS preferably on @fdroidorg #fdroid

Gracias amigos

For your #KeePassXC database synced to your mobile device, the #KeePassDX app is what you need @jameshowell.

It's in @fdroidorg: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.kunzisoft.keepass.libre/

@keepassxc @syncthing @GrapheneOS

@bignose @jameshowell @fdroidorg @keepassxc @syncthing @GrapheneOS thanks for the tip; I just tried the KeepassXC android app and while it mostly seems functional, syncing seems to be completely broken. Whenever I try to sync changes on mobile it throws an exception. However the sloppification of the main app worries me too; I'm also considering switching to Vaultwarden on the back end and keeping all the Bitwarden front-end apps.

@joat @bignose @jameshowell @fdroidorg @keepassxc @syncthing @GrapheneOS it should work but we can't be sure official BW clients stay compatible with vaultwarden.

I'm testing graphene + keepassxc + syncthing. I faced filesystem permission issues with keepassdx... so I'm trying keepass2android and that seems better. Both mobile apps are recommended by keepassxc (see FAQ)

@yax @bignose @jameshowell @fdroidorg @keepassxc @syncthing @GrapheneOS yeah it was keepass2android I tried, also on GrapheneOS... sync threw an exception every time

@bignose @jameshowell @fdroidorg @keepassxc @syncthing @GrapheneOS OK for the record I think I figured this one out. KeepassDX had a similar problem but gave me a better error message, described here: https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/wiki/File-Manager-and-Sync#file-access-revocation - another app (Syncthing) touching the file seemed to "break the link".

The solution was to close the DB in DX then open it in DX via an alternate file manage (Amaze in this case). After that syncing from the laptop to the phone via Syncthing worked. Well, so far... 🤞
